Once you've got over the pain of setting up a provisioning profile and developer certificate, what in particular is easier on Android?

Or is that your only concern? Debugging on iOS is a one click thing once that's set up.

The provisioning profiles are a huge pain, I regularly switch between computers / wipe my computers and every time getting started with iOS is enough hassle for me to put it off a few weeks

Part that its a split, android has a shell which can massively aid debugging, Xcodes integration with gdb seems better / easier than the android debugger, for me that still swings it 70/30 towards android

Switching between computers is easier than it once was, in Xcode just export your developer profile from the organiser.
